TM Prompt 250: A page from your biography
Three hundred pages? That’s a little wordy, isn’t it? I assume that’s roughly chapter 5, if each chapter is 10 pages (if I’m going to be wordy, might as well go the whole distance.)
So, chapter 1: Mom and Dad’s background, which is essentially to understanding me.
Chapter 2: Growing up, excerpts about my uncles.
Chapter 3: The bitchfests begin with Mom about following in her steps
Chapter 4: The stupidity of marriage number one (should be about a page, I suspect) and going into the family business.
Which brings us to near the end of chapter 5. By this point I should have been in the League, I imagine and figuring out who my colleagues were.
"I wasn’t the first woman in the Justice League. That spot would forever go to Wonder Woman. But I was in, and anyone with any sense could tell that we would learn a lot from each other.
She was a lot like me, really. Both of us had a long legacy to live up to. With Diana, she had a warrior culture that didn’t quite understand the way things worked in this new world. For me, the problem was more about understanding exactly how things worked, and trying to figure out how to carve my own path regardless of the JSA shadow looming.
Superman and Batman were impressive. Green Lantern and Flash were cute. But it was Wonder Woman I looked forward to getting to know the most."
